Subnautica is a survival game with Minecraft, Terraria, and Don’t Starve being key inspirations. Without further ado, welcome to our Subnautica guide.

There are no missions or objectives to hold your hand, either – it’s just you and you alone against this watery world. However, don’t fear (unless you have aquaphobia, in which case Subnautica might not be the game for you), we have some tips to help you on your way.Īfter hours of scavenging resources and doggy paddling as fast we can from scary predators, we have created an introductory set of top Subnautica tips that will be sure to turn you from shallow swimmer to a veritable Poseidon in a jiffy. With food, drink, and oxygen levels that need managing, as well as an ocean full of marine beasties ready to rip you to shreds, it’s easy to feel out of your depth in Subnautica. Once you climb out of the Lifepod 5 and take in the wreckage of your mother ship – now a blazing wreck in a vast alien ocean – a few hints will introduce you to your tools, but that is the only help Subnautica will offer you. How do you survive in Subnautica? There is no easy answer to that given that we are talking about an underwater survival game that refuses to hold your hand.
